Help – Sewing for Newbie Sewing Machines Parts and Sales in Los Angeles

Ok, so I had a custom Indian outfit made for my sister’s wedding that is next Saturday. I got the outfit today and tried it on. It’s awful! The skirt is about 4 inches too short and the hips are too tight. My head won’t fit through the neck hole. I believe this all happened because of a language barrier with the woman making it.

I need some major help getting this fixed. I’m thinking if I cut the back of the neck and then put a clasp on it to close my head will fit through. As far as the skirt my top if very long (to my shins), so I’m wondering if I could use a pregnancy belly band (I’m not pregnant lol) or extra fabric to lengthen it.

I am so not a sewing expert, but I’m desperate and trying not to freak out.
